FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: 
Lower:  1.0%               Upper:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Carbon Dioxide, Dry chemical, Foam
 
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Avoid confined spaces.  Firefighters should be equipped with full protective
equipment including a positive pressure NIOSH-approved self contained
breathing apparatus.  Water may be unsuitable as an extinguishing medium.
 
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas of poor ventilation
or travel along the ground to remote ignition sites.  Contents are under
pressure.  Keep cool.  Exposure to heat or sunlight may cause cans to burst and
propel contents.  Water from fog nozzles may be helpful in cooling unruptured
containers to prevent pressure build-up.
 
SECTION V – REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY:                                                                CONDITIONS TO
AVOID:
Stable                                                                           Do not store above 120ºF,
incinerate, or puncture.
 
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):
Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases, selected amines.
 
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:
May emit fumes when heated to decomposition.  May emit carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, unidentified organic compounds.
 
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
Will not occur.
 
SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA
 
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
May cause nose and throat irritation.  May cause system depression,
characterized by the following progressive steps:  headache, dizziness, nausea,
staggering gait, lassitude, loss of coordination, confusion, unconsciousness.
 
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF
EXPOSURE
May cause irritation or burning of the eyes.  Repeated or prolonged liquid contact
may cause skin irritation with discomfort and dermatitis, eye watering,
headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc. are signs that solvent levels are too high.
 
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
See inhalation.  Organic solvents are easily absorbed.  Dry skin, redness, or
dermatitis due to the defatting action of solvents are signs of exposure.
 
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
See inhalation.  May also result in gastro-intestinal distress.  There is a danger of
petroleum distillates entering the lung if swallowed or vomited and causing
inflammation, damage or even death.
 
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvent with
permanent brain and nervous system damage. Laboratory studies with rats have
shown that petroleum distillates cause kidney damage and kidney or liver
tumors.  These effects were not seen in similar studies with guinea pigs, dogs or
monkeys.  Several studies evaluating petroleum workers have not shown a
significant increase of kidney damage or an increase in kidney or liver tumors.
 
CARCINOGENICITY:  NTP:  NO                 IARC
MONOGRAPHS:  NO             OSHA REGULATED:  NO
WARNING:  This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
 
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Pre-existing eye, skin, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure
to this product.
 
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Inhalation:  Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration,
preferably by mouth-to-mouth.  Call doctor.
Eye:  In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes.  Call a physician.
Skin:  In case of skin contact, wash skin with soap and water.  If irritation occurs,
contact a physician.
Ingestion:  For ingestion, call physician immediately.  Have names of hazardous
ingredients ready.  Do not induce vomiting.  Keep head lower than
waist.  Aspiration of vomitus may result in chemical pneumonitis and/or
pulmonary edema.
 
SECTION VII – PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
 
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Ventilate area.  Remove sources of ignition, including hot metal surfaces.  Wear
appropriate clothing and gear.  Prevent skin contact and avoid breathing of
vapor.  Confine immediately and remove with inert absorbent such as clay or
sand.
 
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.  Place in non-leaking
containers.  Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with all Federal, State,
and Local requirements.  Do not incinerate in closed containers.
 
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Observe label precautions.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame (i.e.,
all ignition sources).  Cap container after each use.   Wash thoroughly after
handling and before eating or smoking.  Do not store above 120ºF.  Store in dry,
well ventilated place.  Do not expose to direct sunlight to avoid bursting.  Do not
spray near fire or flame.
 
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Keep away from children.
Avoid unnecessary contact.
Do not take internally.  Do not puncture containers.
Use with adequate ventilation.  Do not inhale vapors.
Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling vapors of this
product may be harmful or fatal. 
Do not sand, flame cut, braze or weld dry coating without a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator or sufficient ventilation.
 
SECTION VIII – CONTROL MEASURES
 
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Do not breath vapors or mists.  If the TLV, FEL, or other limits are exceeded,
then wear a properly fitted vapor and particulate or positive pressure air supplied
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for use with paints during application and
until all vapors and spray mists are exhausted.  Follow the respirator
manufacturer’s directions for proper use.
 
VENTILATION
Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep containments below
applicable OSHA requirements or other suggested exposure limits.  Use only
explosion proof equipment with flammable materials.
 
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Use neoprene gloves or better.  Protective creams are not recommended for
protection, but may be used for base of cleanup.
 
EYE PROTECTION
Goggles are best to prevent eye irritation.  When using safety glasses add splash
guard, side shields, or face shield.
 
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Apron, coveralls, or work clothes.  Change clothes and shoes in case of spill,
splash, or excessive over spray.  Do not reuse clothing or shoes while solvent
odor is retained in them.  Eye washes and safety showers could also be provided.
 
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
As with all chemical products, use care in handling.  Do not smoke or eat without
first washing your hands.
